Lovechild
----------
Na, na, na, na
Honey child
Hope and will
To never compromise
The truth of us -
Truth of us
You define what I be
Together we are love
Baby one ain't enough
No no I
Honey don't ya love
The love child in me
The devil finds
His way to work
Come on and take
A piece of my joy
Fine with me -
Fine with me
I got more
than I deserve and
Ain't all the sinners
Just saints?
Tryin' to find
A way through this
Na, na, na...
That's what it is
You are the business
Let's form a corporation
I'm on a pace to surpass
All my previous records
Imma savage you
With so many kisses I
Can't even stand to be near
Imma, Imma lose it on you
Honey don't you love
The love child in me

Viva Los Angeles
----------------
Push it over the line
Push it one more time
Baby that's love
Got to get down or lay down
Put a notch in your belt
And then cinch it tight
Someone might say
That isn't healthy or sane
It's so easy to find you
On the avenue of damn straight
You betta get you some
While you here
Viva Los Angeles
Livin' where the fools gold
Looks like sunshine
I couldn't tell you
I know the difference
Even your children know
This is where the hustlers
Go to get it
I hope you find
Whatever you're lookin' for
As a matter of fact
Yes I like it
I like it like that
Sound of the city
Drownin' me
Yes it's cold and it's dark
Drivin' down the boulevard
Of broken dreams
Somebody help me say
Anybody help me say

all that money

All That Money
-------------
Pack that gun
As smoke rings curl
What you gone do
With all that money
Baby roll chains
And make that change
What you gone do
With all that funny paper
Harmony was her name
Still we made her
Just to live
Ain't the game - well
Pushing that pain
In so much noise
What you gone...
Filling your tank
And your conceit
What you gone....
Harmony, love be damned
Still we made it
Just to live
Ain't the game - well
Wrong ends and cold men
Press flesh
To sink their teeth into
But where does it end?
I'm looking for a way out
Not a way in
And there's no time to waste
There's no fear to carry
There's just the line
Between what is
And what could be
So come heal me
Whatever it takes
I'm waiting for your message
I'm just a vessel of
Blood, bone & muscle
They say what
And you are ready
What you gone...
Got to St. James
To bless the steady
What you gone...
I believe the sign
Of the times is bottom line
Hallelujah maybe
On Sunday we'll be kind
Sure you're innocent -
No the television don't lie
Do you prefer your world
In color or black & white
Or shades of gray
Rattle that cup
For screws attention
What you gone...
Digging that hole
With slow convention
What you gone...
Pushing that pain
In so much noise
What you gone...
One deserves
Everything they earn
What you gone..
Harmony was....
Slow your nature

Always
-------
Keep my hand
On my heart
Keep my mind on
The problem I have
Right in front of me
Keep it up if you don't
Think the one's that
You trust to protect you
Are runnin' things
Left is right
Down is up
Am I looking for ways
To pretend that there's
Nothing wrong
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your eyes open wide
And be ready for anything
Always
There's a song that you sing
When you welcome the world
And all of us that live in it
There's a path that you walk
When you answer a call
That is truly righteous
Underneath all the smoke
And the mirrors
The Wizard of Oz was
A little man
Tryin' to find his way home
As a duty I think we should
Help him find it
Always
There's a smile on my face
Everytime that I think
Of my son when he's all grown
and I hope that the sky
Is still blue and in the sea
The fish are swimming
So go ahead and live your life
And live it well
But don't stop livin'
For the future
Always

Same Old Tired world
-----------
I stand inside another space
And in it I will find myself
An ordinary modifier surely
It will come to bear
Tomorrow brings another day
And I will find the words alone
Intimidating though it is
I will find a way to change
'til then I'm living in the same old tired world
I'm looking on the road ahead
And I can see it either way
I built it up with my two hands
Lest it fall into the sand
December comes and with it my mood
Turns toward the rain upon my window
Make it last it never will
Love me when my troubles come
Tell them I'm living in the same old tired world

Smooth Assassination
---------------------
All levels set to zero
So near my dear
Heaven to be sure
Your lights are
Strictly northern
Your honey words
Hanging in the air
Need I say amen
Must have been all
Over your body
It was a smooth
Assassination of
Everything I tried
To resist
You got my mind
Up in a spell
If it's my soul
You want then take it
I read your best intentions
Submitted twice
Failed to see the rhyme
Girl in due time
Now we've reached
Full ascension
Catching it all
Catch me when I fall
Yes I will fall

Let's Stay Together
-------------------
Said I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Let me say that since, baby
Since we've been together
Ooh
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Ooh baby
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, somebody, why some people break-up
Turn around and make-up?
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (Would you, baby?)
Stayin' around you is all I see
Let's, we oughta stay together (Together)
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad, come on
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Baby
Ain't no talkin' about it
You know how I feel
I'm on top of a mountain
And I wanna stay
You can't ever be happy
If you never play
Why you worry about it
That's just how it is
Relax your shoe leather
You can't run forever
Time is not indefinitely
Working under a cloud
Take it back we gonnna
Make it rough on each other
Sho enough I've been a fool
For you I'd do it again
Such a frown you wearin'
Upside down I'm fearin'
We can't have much
More than this and that
Is all I can stand
Tongue-tied my mind twisted
Make it better please sista
Say you'll be there for me
Now is when I need you again

Beautiful Mess
--------------
Sanctified baby
Better off
With a wounded heart
Better save your words
Comin' back
In a poisoned arc
Believe what you want
You know I will
All the missing pieces
Fall into place
When I stop and take a look
At this beautiful mess
We made
Bonafide baby
What I feel for you is real
Gonna let it all flow out
You know I will

Devotion Time
-------------
Devotion time
Well devotion time
I'll admit
All I want is you
I believe all I want
Is you
You know baby
That we made a home
With hearts and pain
And there's a
Whole lotta love
Whenever we come
To be together
She said
Hello baby yes
You make my day
Whenever you call
And I can't get enough
Enough of your
Sweet stuff
Come over here cause
It's devotion time
Well well baby
What you do to me
It must be somethin'
Cause I wanna stay
Under your fingertips
Caressing my cares
And worries
They are small
Compared to what
We share I wanna
Let it out
Just let it all
Wash away
Making sure that it's
Devotion time
I don't mind
Gonna let my love shine

Listen Out Loud
---------------
I'm a mile a minute
I'm a man about it
Suga what
Can I be missing?
I'm afraid to say this
Any other way it's
Suga what
Can I be missing?
It's in the moment we made
Heavy as the month of July
It's in the things
That are said
Maybe we should listen
Out loud
I've been down that river
But i can still cold deliver
Suga what
Can I be missing?
You're a Lazy Susan
I'm an angry human
Suga what
Can I be missing
There's no easy
Change of weather
You can let it out
An ocean
There is nothing left
To gather
'Cept what's on my mind
My son

Someone Else
------------
It's in the way that you want
I can do without this projection
It's in the way that you sulk
I can do without this possession
How we wait
How we wait inside
How we come to realize
How we turn
How we turn inside
How we come to be so right
It's always someone else
It's in the distance I feel
I can do without this protection
It's in the arm or the wheel
I can do without misdirection
Each to oneself

Razor Wind
------------
Something innocent
Something old as rain
The more stay the same
The more that it change
I'm aware the razor wind blows
I've been cut
Find the word emancipation
Means surrender to the soul
As we all form a line
As we all form a line
I'm in the moment
As you walk away
Still you hesitate
It' so hard to kill
And yet we remain
I'm aware the razor wind blows
I've been cut
Find the nice reverberation
And surrender to the sun
